VCS import of Pandora

[David Allouche]

Dear Mr. Lerena,

You requested a VCS import of pandora/trunk, but the contents of the specified Subversion URL is not conform to our import policy and Launchpad best practices.

You have registered the pandora product on Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/pandora/

And specified the following Subversion URL for its trunk series:
https://pandora.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pandora/trunk

A look in this repository shows that this URL is not a single branch, but a collection of branch for multiple components:
% svn ls https://pandora.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pandora/trunk
pandora_agents/
pandora_applet/
pandora_console/
pandora_doc/
pandora_server/

In Launchpad parlance, Pandora is a "Project" that releases several "Products" (agents, applet, console, doc, server). It looks like each of those products is intended to be packaged separately, and potentially released independently. If I understand correctly, each of those component would be associated to a distinct "source package".

Since Launchpad is designed to allow effective communication between upstreams, such as yourself, and packagers such as Ubuntu, this configuration should be reflected in how Pandora is registered in Launchpad. I suggest that you rename the existing "pandora" product to "pandora-server", and register additional Launchpad products "pandora-agents", "pandora-applet", "pandora-console" and "pandora-doc". Upon requests, Launchpad adminstrators can create a Project "pandora-project" that you could use to group those products.

Each of those product would be associated to a distinct import from Subversion:
pandora-server/trunk: https://pandora.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pandora/trunk/pandora_server
pandora-agents/trunk: https://pandora.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pandora/trunk/pandora_agents
etc.

You could also keep the current organisation with single product, and ask me to approve a single import with the current URL, if that's really what you want.

For the time being, I have marked pandora/trunk as DONTSYNC: no import to Bazaar will be attempted.
